The Felted Pear Giveaway

I am thrilled to be hosting another giveaway for my all time favorite Etsy store, The Felted Pear! You might recall our giveaway in July where Susan, the super talented shop owner, gifted one of my readers a huge bag of her fabulous felt play food. Now, just in time for Christmas shopping, Susan is generously offering another of my readers a $30 gift certificate to The Felted Pear!

You can choose from one of the many goodies in her shop or you can request a custom made order. Not familiar with The Felted Pear? Allow me to treat you to a little photo tour of some of my favorite items...

An adorable collection of canned goods!

Each can has the corresponding food inside of it. These are not only fun for any play kitchen, they would also be perfect for small children, too, as they learn object permanence. Keep in mind all of Susan's creations are made with non-toxic materials, so they're safe for everyone.

This Autumn Harvest collection is just beautiful. I could see this being used as a centerpiece at the Thanksgiving table!

And this rainbow of fruits and veggies looks good enough to eat. I love that there's such a variety of foods - you won't find play food like mushrooms and cabbage in the stores!

It's the cookie monster in me that adores this platter of sweets. And look at those cherries! Too cute! I'm always take aback by the attention to detail in Susan's foods. It's clear that a lot of thought and care goes into making these.

Would you like to learn how to make your own felt food? You're in luck because Susan hosts a wonderful series of tutorials on her blog, Chasing Marcus. Check it out!

First, I liked the Felted Pear FB page because I really did (thanks for sharing the link!) I was the 200th person to like her page, yeah! :)Now I still need to decide which item I like the best on Etsy and that's a hard one!!!

Wow that is some adorable felt food! Given the season, my favorite is the Autumn Harvest 6 piece set. I would love to use that as a touchable centerpiece as we prepare for Thanksgiving. It would spark a lot of learning activities.

Ah, I've been in love with this shop ever since I saw it on your blog before! My favorite? The milk, eggs and butter. I love that it comes with six wooden eggs. So adorable. That is definitely what I would get with a gift certificate. blueviolet_290@hotmail.com

My favorite food on the site was the rainbow fruits and vegies. I love the variety and the detail of the foods. I also love the sweets platter that you have a photo of, but I didn't see that item in the shop.

I LOVE the Felted Pear. I do not own anything yet, but have seriously been contemplating using them as stocking stuffers for the kids. I have not even seen the canned items yet! I would have to say that those are my favorite at this point. But I also really like the pasta, the sandwhich and chips, and the breakfast foods, and the dairy products, and all the fruits and veggies.....oh wait....I like it all :)

Her fruits and veggies are awesome, my personal favorite is the carrot. My daughter favorite would be the pizza she is totally obsessed with feeding me "pizza" with old bits of felt she would just love a "real" pizza.

The harvest collection is just beautiful! Wow! But I also love that she makes so many unusual objects - I have never seen felt Indian corn, broccoli and lettuce. It looks very well made too! Idaidarable(AT)yahoo.ca

Everything on the site is so beautiful - and so reasonably priced. I'm making my son some felt food for Christmas and I'd be making about .50 cents an hour for what she sells her beautiful work for. Amazing! My little man loves broccoli and I never would have thought to make it out of felt, so that is my favorite.

Ack! It is hard to choose..it is all so adorable. I've been to her site before through another blog and am always amazed at her lovely work. It would probably be a toss up between the sweet platter and the harvest goodies.

I've always adored the fruit and veggie set. We don't even have a play kitchen (my boys use the real thing mostly) but I know they would love that set, especially the little one. And we all know those poor younger siblings rarely get new things lol!

I LOVE the broccoli. And since I am NOT a crafty person, I would never be able to make this stuff myself. We also need to replace the few kitchen food items we currently have with safer (non-plastic) alternatives. So, thank you immensely for this giveaway!

I am definitely trying this out myself: my first project will be your little fishes (my daughter LOVES the ocean - we live on an island too). And I can't resist for another easy looking one: the sunny side up eggs! So cute! :)

What a great giveaway! We're in the process of making my son a play kitchen set for Christmas, and I'd love some of these incredible felt food creations to go along with it! I can't decide between the refrigerator set or the harvest basket!

I love the Felt Food Refrigerated Set- Gallon of Milk, Butter and Eggs! I know my little ones would love these- especially when they are pretend baking. Thanks for a wonderful giveaway!!!♥simplymontessori@yahoo.com

I love the carrot it looks so real! I wish I had the time to sew with so many kids and working full time. I enjoy seeing all the ideas on your blog. I visited bermuda in 2000 when my cousin lived there and it was so fun but I understand your frustration with it being an island. Thanks so much!Tammywww.middleofthemitten.blogspot.com
